The Veterans & Military Affairs Committee is hosting an informational hearing on Wednesday, November 8, at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford, Room 2C, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. 

Recently, Attorney General Tong joined my fellow Representatives Meskers and Arzeno and I for an Elder Justice Forum at the Greenwich Library. The discussion focused on scams used to take advantage of vulnerable older adults. 

During this period, individuals can enroll for the first time, renew their coverage, and explore the various policy options to see which will be the most beneficial. 

I have a lot to share with you. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I helped out at Filling in the Blanks, I joined the Greenwich delegation in honoring Chief Strain, attended a number of community events, and more.

The Stamford House Democrats are welcoming millions of dollars in bond funding for local projects.

Plenty of info to share with you today - the Greenwich House Delegation visited a number of Greenwich non-profits & programs, the state's minimum wage is set to go up January 1, the YWCA hosted a successful "Walk the Walk Against Domestic Violence," Round Hill Volunteer Fire Company will be holding its Oktoberfest, Passport Day is October 7 in Hartford, the Foodshed Forum is hosting a panel discussion on October 10, and more.
